🎂 TOP 3 PASTRIES IN SURREY 🎄 Need a sweet pastry fix to fuel your xmas shopping? I've got you! 🤗 📍 @gingerbreadman_bakery - A lovely artisan local family run bakery supplying wholesale handcrafted bread, pastries and cakes. 🥐 🍩 I went for the classic raspberry jam doughnut, can't go wrong and it was proper jammy let me tell you! They have 3 branches and I visited thier Walton branch which is located on 93 Hersham Rd, Walton-on-Thames KT12 1RJ 📍@dolceandsalatouk  - Known for thier famous pizza in Guildford, a cute little find for sure! You feel right at home here as it has a very warm atmopshere and it smells like Italy! Located in 206 High St, Guildford GU1 3JB. 🤤 I went for thier gluten free chocolate cannoli and it was DREAMY. The almond pastry is nice and thick but also melts in the mouth and the chocolate cream filling is luscious and rich! They also have many other flavours to choose from so get yourself down here pronto! 📍@ole&steen - It really is THAT special Danish bakery that everyone is raving about! Home of the Cinnamon Social and my GOD it was gorgeous. 🤯 I think it was the best cinnamon pastry I have ever tried, it was that good and a very generous portion indeed! All of their 26 bakeries are open for eat in, takeaway and delivery. I visited the spacious Guildford branch which is located on 118 High St, Guildford GU1 3HQ. Until Next Time! 👋 #nikibakesuk #yoodee #foodreview #yum #pastry #food #winter

🍂 Dorset Apple Cake 🍎 Perfect for rainy day baking! 🫂 Who wants the recipe? #nikibakesuk #dorsetapplecake #autumn #november #yum #cake

Spooky Cookies! 🍪 👁😵 Ingredients: 280g of plain flour/gf plain flour 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of cornflour 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt 170g of unsalted butter, melted 200g of light brown sugar 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature 2 teaspoons of organic vanilla extract @steenbergsltd 200g of chocolate chips A handful of edible eye decorations and Halloween sprinkles Method: 1. Whisk the flour, bicarb, cornflour, and sea salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the organic vanilla extract. The mixture will be thin. Pour into dry ingredients and mix with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft, thick, and appear greasy. Fold in the chocolate chips. The chocolate chips may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter but do your best to combine them. 3. Cover the dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours or up to 3 days. I highly recommend chilling the cookie dough overnight for less spreading! 4. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes. 5. Preheat oven to 170°C and line large baking sheets with greaseproof paper, set aside. 6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon measure 3 scant of dough for medium cookies. Roll into a ball, making sure the shape is taller rather than wide—almost like a cylinder. This helps the cookies bake up thicker. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place 8–9 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet and bake the cookies for 12–13 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. Once the cookies are out of the oven wait a few minutes before you begin to decorate. ENJOY!  🍪 👀 👁 😵 🍪 #nikibakesuk #halloween #cookies #sonbahar #nefis #yum #cookiemonster #scary #halloweenfood #recipe

🍂 Apple And Vanilla Sheet Cake 🍎 Ingredients:  220g of plain flour  2 teaspoons of baking powder 3 medium eggs 220g of light brown sugar  170g of unsalted butter, melted  5 tablespoons of almond milk 1 teaspoon of organic vanilla extract @steenbergsltd 2 to 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced  1 & 1/2 tablespoons of demerara sugar A liberal dusting of icing sugar  ❤️ Method:  Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper, set aside. Sift and combine flour and baking powder in a medium-sized bowl, then set it aside. Using a larger bowl, beat eggs and sugar. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract and continue mixing. Combine the flour and baking powder, and mix until there are no lumps left in the apple cake batter. Pour the batter into the lined baking sheet and use an angled spatula to even the top. Prepare the topping by combining ground cinnamon with sugar. Arrange the fresh apple slices on top and sprinkle them evenly with the demerara sugar. Place your sheet cake into the lower part of the oven for 28 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Set aside for a few minutes to cool. Slice your newly baked apple sheet cake into squares and serve with more icing sugar, if desired. Enjoy! 🍎🍂❤️😍🤗 #nikibakesuk #apple #kek #vanilya #tarifler #elma #mmmmm

🧄 Easy Garlic Confit Mayo 🤌🏻 Once you make this mayo, you'll never buy shop-bought again. Cheaper than tastier than store bought.

Once the ingredients begin to emulsify, move the blender up and down while slowly incorporating all of the oil. Continue until you have a thick consistency. Store in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Who's giving this a go? 🧡 #garlicconfit #mayo #easy #recipe #yum #nikibakesuk

Chocolate-Orange Mud Cake 🍊 The PERFECT Cake For Christmas! Ingredients: 200g butter softened 200g of light brown sugar 4 eggs 2 tsp of organic orange extract @steenbergsltd 180g of gluten-free self-raising flour 25g of cocoa powder 1/4 tsp of baking powder 1/4 tsp of xanthan gum 300g of icing sugar, sifted 150g of butter softened 100g of dark chocolate melted 1 tsp of orange extract Terry's chocolate orange segments, for decoration A small handful of decorations, optional Method: Preheat your oven to 180C and prepare a brownie tin with greaseproof paper, set aside. Cream together your softened butter and sugar using an electric hand whisk. Do so until lighter in colour and fluffier in texture. Gradually add your eggs and mix in alongside your orange extract. Sift your gluten-free flour, cocoa, baking powder, and xanthan gum, and then mix with your electric hand whisk until combined. Spoon your mixture into your prepared loaf tin and place in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. After 50 minutes, remove from the oven and put to one side on a cooling rack whilst you make the buttercream. Whilst your cake cools you can make the chocolate orange buttercream. Place your butter in a stand mixer (or electric hand whisk if you don't have a stand mixer), and mix on its own on high speed for about 5 minutes. The butter should change from a more yellow colour to being a lot more pale. Melt your dark chocolate, and put to one side to cool whilst making the rest of the buttercream. Add your icing sugar gradually to the butter, I mix each addition of icing sugar for around 3-5 minutes before adding the second half. Now add in your melted dark chocolate and orange extract and mix briefly to combine. It should be the right consistency at this point. Spread your icing all over the top of your cake and then decorate as you wish. Enjoy! #nikibakesuk #christmas #chocolateorange #yum #cake
